Welcome to episode 208 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we conclude our series on Christian citizenship.  Today, we tackle the topic of gospel peacemaking.  Key takeaways:  While we never compromise truth for unity, we also recognize that many of our divisions stem not from essential doctrinal differences but from cultural preferences, political allegiances, or personal animosities that have become inflated beyond their proper importance.  Principles for gospel peacemaking:  We must recognize our primary identity in Christ.  When our identity in Christ becomes primary, we can navigate differences from a foundation of unity. We must practice gospel humility. We must cultivate listening love. We must distinguish between biblical absolutes and areas of Christian freedom. We must practice faith-filled conflict resolution. We must commit to speaking truth in love. Quotable:  Our peacemaking is most powerful when it flows from personal experience of God's peace. We forgive because we've been forgiven. We pursue reconciliation because we've been reconciled to God. We cross social barriers because Christ crossed the ultimate barrier for us.  Application:  Regarding political divisions, we must resist the polarization that dominates our public discourse. Regarding racial reconciliation, we must acknowledge both the progress made and the work still needed. Regarding socioeconomic divisions, we must build communities where "there were no needy persons among them" (Acts 4:34) while respecting the dignity of all members regardless of economic status. Regarding generational differences, we must honor the wisdom of older believers while embracing the fresh perspectives of younger ones. Practical steps for becoming gospel peacemakers:  Examine your own heart. Build relationships across dividing lines. Practice biblical conflict resolution when tensions arise. Support reconciliation efforts in your community. Model unity around the essentials of faith.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.

Welcome to episode 207 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue in our series on Christian citizenship.  Today, we tackle the topic of cultural engagement.  Key takeaways:  As followers of Christ, we're called to a distinctive way of life that sometimes aligns with and sometimes challenges the prevailing culture.   Three principles for cultural engagement: Christians should be distinctively Christian. Christians must be engaged. Christians should be thoughtful about our influence. Three models of cultural engagement: Critical consumption - examine cultural content thoughtfully.  Common grace collaboration - God's common grace enables non-believers to create good things, discover truth, and promote justice. Counter-cultural community -  some aspects of our faith and practice will inevitably stand in contrast to the surrounding culture.  Quotable:  Compromise for the sake of relevance ultimately leads to irrelevance.   Application:  A balanced approach to cultural engagement requires wisdom and discernment. It means constantly asking questions like:  What aspects of this cultural element reflect God's truth, goodness, and beauty?  What aspects distort or contradict God's design?  How can I appreciate the good while respectfully challenging the problematic?  How can my engagement bear witness to a more excellent way?  Cultivate deep biblical knowledge. The better we understand Scripture, the more clearly we can discern what in culture aligns with or contradicts God's design. Practice intentional cultural awareness. Pay attention to the messages in the media you consume, the assumptions in the education system, and the values celebrated in entertainment. Build relationships with non-believers. Find like-minded community. Cultural engagement is challenging to sustain alone. Recognize that our ultimate goal isn't just cultural analysis or even cultural transformation, but pointing to Christ through our engagement.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.  

The holiness of God humbles us in every way. When we come to understand it, even in small measure, it causes us to have humility.

Welcome to episode 206 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we begin a three-week series on our Christian citizenship.  Today, we explore what it means to have dual citizenship.  Key takeaways:  We hold, in a sense, dual citizenship—belonging to God's eternal kingdom while residing in temporal human kingdoms.  Scripture points us toward a balanced approach that acknowledges both the legitimacy of government and its limitations.  We respect governmental authority without idolizing it.  We participate in civic affairs without placing our ultimate hope in political solutions.  We must remember that our witness extends beyond our explicit political activity. Your citizenship in God's kingdom is secure and eternal, while earthly political systems are temporary.   Quotable:  When we expect government to accomplish what only God can do, we set ourselves up for either idolatry or disillusionment.   Application:  There are times when Christians must respectfully disobey governmental demands that would require us to violate God's commands.   Four practical principles: First, we recognize the legitimacy of government as an institution established by God, even when we disagree with specific policies or leaders. Second, we participate thoughtfully in the civic process. Third, we maintain a prophetic voice that transcends partisan divisions. Fourth, we recognize the limitations of political solutions. Practical applications for living as kingdom citizens in earthly kingdoms:  Pray regularly for governing officials—especially those you disagree with. Stay informed about issues affecting your community and nation, but be selective and critical about your information sources. Participate appropriately in civic processes. Maintain fellowship with believers across the political spectrum.  Connect with us:  Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:    https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)  https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/    If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.  

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: When we cannot grasp His ways Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 6/24/2025 Bible: John 13:7; Deuteronomy 29:29 Length: 3 min.

John 13:7, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." There is infinite mercy in that gentle correction of Jesus to Peter. The Lord was stooping to wash the feet of His disciples--a task far beneath His dignity, but not beneath His love. Peter objected, unable to reconcile this lowly act with the majesty of the One he knew to be the Son of God. But Jesus silences Peter's protest, not with an explanation, but with a quiet assurance: "What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." This assurance is not for Peter only. It is for every believer who walks through the shadowy mysteries of God's providence. In the Lord's dealings with His redeemed people, there is much that is concealed--and rightly so. Our finite minds cannot trace the lines of His infinite wisdom. What He hides from us is not meant to wound us, but to humble us, teach us, and draw us to trust Him. It is not ours to demand the explanation of God's dealings with us. It is ours to say, "It is the Lord! Let Him do what is good in His sight." To pry into the hidden counsels of the Almighty, is both presumption and folly. The Judge of all the earth will do right--even when we cannot yet comprehend it. Shall the clay rise up to challenge the Potter? Shall dust and ashes cross-examine the Most High? Faith bows and adores. Faith says, "Though He slays me, yet I will hope in Him." God's providences may appear darksome to us, but they are never erring. All must be right--because He does it. And what is true in providence is even more true in grace. Why did God choose us, the most unlikely and unworthy? Why were we made to hear His voice, while other

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, recorded at the Partner Summit 2025, Attune Legal's principal reflects on the extent to which firm partners and principals are satisfactorily proficient with artificial intelligence (AI) and why improving one's grasp of new technologies is of paramount importance. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Attune Legal principal Yule Guttenbeil about his frustrations about perceptions that law firm leaders are not properly grasping AI at this point in time, why this might be the case and the motivations of such leaders, how we haven't yet scratched the surface of what it means to utilise AI at a satisfactory level, and the risks inherent with taking one's time in developing proficiency. Guttenbeil also delves into the steps that firm leaders need to be taking right now, the questions to be asked of themselves and their businesses, the need to update terms of engagement with clients to include language around AI use, becoming confident with AI and how many hours to invest daily and weekly to increase proficiency.

Dive into the surprising truth about Bitcoin. Often seen as complicated and scary, this episode reveals that Bitcoin is fundamentally text, speech, and math. Understand why understanding its basic principles makes the idea of outlawing it seem foolish. Learn how Bitcoin operates like a messaging protocol, where creating a wallet can be as simple as flipping a coin, and holding a key allows you to receive and create transactions. Discover that sending sats means sending a message, and even mining involves guessing a number. Everything in Bitcoin is just information, and transactions are plain text, visible to everyone. Exploring how Bitcoin is numbers, math, and the exchange of messages shows why trying to outlaw it would mean outlawing information itself, requiring surveillance or even attempting to criminalize thought. Grasp the core idea: Bitcoin is pure information, like thought and speech, utilizing computation to create a shared, verifiable reality.Kaynak

Welcome to episode 205 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we conclude our three-week series on our identity in Christ.  Today, we explore the concepts of adoption and inheritance.  Key takeaways: God doesn't just pardon us from our sins; He welcomes us into His family, with all the rights, privileges, and inheritance that come with being His children. Our adoption required an enormous price—God "sent his Son" to "redeem" us. There's a change in status from "slave" to "child." We receive the Spirit of God's Son—the Holy Spirit—who confirms our adoption. Our adoption makes us heirs—we have an inheritance waiting for us. Our trials aren't punishment for wayward children; they're training for beloved children whom God is preparing for an eternal weight of glory. What exactly is our inheritance? It includes everything Christ inherits.  Quotable: Our status as God's children is secure—not because of our performance, but because of His promise.  Application: How should this identity as adopted children shape our daily lives? First, it should transform how we approach God. Second, our identity as God's children should shape how we view suffering and discipline. Third, our adoption should ignite anticipation for our inheritance. Live from this identity.  When you pray, approach God as your loving Father, not a distant deity. When you face challenges, remember you're being trained as a beloved child, not punished as an unwelcome intruder.  When the future seems uncertain, recall the glorious inheritance that awaits you.   Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

One who hasn't mastered their mother tongue cannot fully grasp other languages. Guest: Sandhu Binning & Pandher Host: Harjinder Thind

Welcome to episode 204 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue our three-week series on our identity in Christ.  Today, we explore the realities of our being a new creation, based on 2 Corinthians 5:17.  Key takeaways: When you come to faith in Christ, you don't just become a slightly improved version of your old self—you become a fundamentally different kind of being. We died with Christ, were buried with Christ, and were raised with Christ. This isn't something we're striving to accomplish; it's something that has already happened spiritually when we placed our faith in Jesus. Our progress in holiness is motivated by both who we already are and who we will ultimately become. Quotable: Becoming a new creation is not rehabilitation; it's resurrection. Application: Your old self is dead. That's a fact. Now live accordingly.  This is where many Christians get stuck. We look at our ongoing struggles and conclude, "Well, I must not really be a new creation yet. Maybe when I finally overcome this sin, then I'll be transformed." But this gets the order exactly backward. We don't behave our way into a new identity; we believe our way into new behavior.  So, how do we begin to live in light of our new creation reality? Let me suggest three practical steps:  First, know the truth. Spend time studying what Scripture says about your new identity in Christ.  Second, replace lies with truth. Identify the false narratives you've believed about yourself. Third, practice new creation habits.  Consciously give God access to your time, your thoughts, your relationships, and your resources.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

This episode introduces a profound yet simple principle: knowing your baselines. This concept is crucial for effectively detecting and measuring change in your life and career.Uncover the fundamental idea that to recognise when something has changed, you must first understand what things were like before the change occurred. Often, people haven't been measuring their lives, making it challenging to spot shifts because their baselines are unknown.Learn to identify your personal baselines across various aspects of your life. This includes understanding typical daily habits, such as whether you tend to skip lunch, or how many hours you usually work (e.g., 6, 8, or 10 hours). While general data might suggest optimal working hours (e.g., 35-45 hours for most benefit, rarely more than 55 hours), your personal baseline is unique, and the goal is to empower you to make conscious decisions about your habits.Explore other crucial areas for baseline measurement, including simple health metrics like your typical body weight, baseline levels of activity with friends, expected energy levels, and even your baseline for positivity.Discover how establishing these 'operating norms' for your life can be a critical factor in recognising positive changes, identifying when you are unconsciously changing a behaviour, or even detecting signs of burnout. For instance, if your body weight trends upwards, it might signal decreased activity. Similarly, knowing your baseline learning rate can help you assess if you are learning at an acceptable pace.Understand the significant benefit of sharing your baseline measurements or expectations with others. What others observe about your life can provide a valuable starting point or confirm changes you might not perceive yourself. It's encouraged to get curious about what others are seeing, rather than dismissing their observations.Grasp why this principle is so important: it helps align your actions with your values and purpose. If you care about spending quality time with family or friends, understanding your baseline investment in these relationships allows you to recognise if you're moving away from your expected commitment. Knowing your baselines demonstrates that you're putting action behind your values, rather than just stating them.Consider starting by engaging a trusted person to help you be aware of your baselines, especially concerning the things that matter most to you. This provides external observation and support.

Welcome to episode 203 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we begin a three-week series on our identity in Christ.  Today, we explore what it means to go from broken to beloved.  Key takeaways: To understand who we are, we must first understand how God sees us. Before we cleaned up our act, before we got our lives together, while we were still defined by our brokenness—that's when Christ died for us. Many of us exhaust ourselves trying to earn what God has already freely given. We strive for approval, validation, and worth, unaware that in Christ, these are already ours. The battlefield for identity is often in our thoughts.  Quotable: Our identity is not earned but bestowed.  Application: So how do we begin to live from this new identity rather than constantly striving to achieve it? First, we must consistently renew our minds with God's truth. Second, we need to practice "identity statements" based on Scripture. Third, we must find community that reinforces our true identity.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

The story of New England's vampires begins with a scourge whose tragic trail is visible in cemeteries throughout the region. Incredible as it may seem today, vampires preyed upon their not-so-distant ancestors. Vampire attacks increased dramatically during the eighteenth century and remained the leading cause of death in New England throughout the nineteenth century. But this unseen killer did not resemble the clever Count Dracula of Bram Stoker's imagination. Indeed, it was so small that it was undetectable. New England's authentic vampires, you see, were pathogenic microbes (“bacteria with fangs,” as a nurse once described them). Prior to the twentieth century, a diagnosis of consumption (as pulmonary tuberculosis was called at that time) was a virtual death sentence.My Special Guest Is Michael Bell Michael E. Bell has a Ph.D. in Folklore from Indiana University, Bloomington; his dissertation topic was African American voodoo beliefs and practices. He has an M.A. in Folklore and Mythology from the University of California at Los Angeles, and a B.A. , with M.A. level course work completed, in Anthropology/Archaeology from the University of Arizona, Tucson. Bell was the Consulting Folklorist at the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, Providence, Rhode Island, for more than twenty-five years. He has also taught courses in folklore, English, anthropology and American studies at several colleges and universities. His book, Food for the Dead: On the Trail of New England's Vampires, was a BookSense 76 Pick and winner of the Lord Ruthven Assembly Award for Best Nonfiction Book on Vampires. He has completed the manuscript for a second book on American vampires, titled The Vampire's Grasp: The Hidden History of Consumption in New England. Michael Bell and his wife, Carole, split their time between Rhode Island and Texas. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Learn how tuberculosis was once mistaken for vampire attacks in New England.2. Discover why families dug up loved ones to stop the spread of a deadly disease.If you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠to ⁠support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74I⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEW Podcast Shop:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest Links⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B007ZFDTMY/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=2acd0188-d7fb-48a4-9edc-2eaf8d21702b&ref_=ap_rdr LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-bell-a7a15015/ Facebook:⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100049057788689 

Tired of mentally translating? Adept English Rule 5 teaches you to "think in English" using immersive listening & spaced repetition. Grasp phrases intuitively & stop stalling!

Welcome to episode 202 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 5.  Today, we will explore how King David sought God's face in a two-faced world, focusing on: Prayer for God's Justice (vv. 1–3) Affirmation of God's Hatred of Evil (vv. 4–6) Hope in Fellowship With God (v. 7) Prayer for God's Righteousness (v. 8) Affirmation of Evil (v. 9) Hope in God's Righteousness (vv. 10–12)  Key takeaways: David shows us how to navigate this two-faced world with integrity and hope. What better way to start the day than to direct one's thoughts, one's praise, one's prayers to God, and look up? Is it not better to face every day, whatever the circumstances, with God than without Him? David's hope is grounded in the character of God. He is confident because he knows who God is. Wickedness always alienates us from God, creating a chasm of separation that can only be bridged by repentance on our part and by God's merciful forgiveness. We approach the infinitely holy God—not because of our own worthiness, but through the "credentials" of Christ's righteousness and God's abundant, unfailing love. The Scriptures indicate that God has provided a standard for life, or a norm, to guide humankind. To direct one's life in accord with this standard is to walk in righteousness; that is, in the way that is right.  Quotable: Discernment requires looking beyond appealing words to examine both the heart behind them and the ultimate impact they will have.  Application: When facing situations that seem unjust or unchanged despite prayer, remember David's example of bringing the same concerns to God each morning. Before addressing challenges or injustices, follow David's pattern of first bringing the matter to God. This ensures our responses are guided by divine wisdom rather than merely human reaction.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

Something To Think About Series #192 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

Matt Crawford speaks with author Sylvia Lerch about her book, Grasp the Nettle. Set in a remote district of Western Australia in the 1920s, an era which outlawed suicide, an unidentified body has been found and police are treating the death as suspicious. The story presents a chance for strangers (the reader) to peruse the very private diaries of the protagonists. Intriguingly, this is like peeping through the coin slot of a piggy bank to count the wealth inside. Elsie has married Tom in an arrangement brokered by her brother. Tom's job is delivering the Royal Mail, and it takes him away from home for weeks at a time. Vivacious, imaginative young Elsie must entertain herself in their isolated, unsophisticated bush hut. Married women were not allowed to be financially independent. Grasp the Nettle is not a fairytale ‘lived happily ever after' romance, but a lode of accurate historical data balanced by details of underlined moral standards of life before the advent of reliable contraceptives, and acknowledgement of gender diversity. In those harsh times, things that are commonplace for us today were yet to be invented: like mobile phones, internet communications, and GPS. There were not even engineered roads through country districts in this vast nation, Australia. Grasp the Nettle poses the question: how did people cope with life's challenges?

Welcome to episode 201 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 101.  Today, we will explore King David's leadership manifesto, focusing on: David's Witness with God (v. 1) A Deeper Look at David's Personal Integrity (vv. 2-7) David's Warfare for God (v. 8)  Key takeaways: Truly transformative leadership begins not with grand visions but with uncompromising personal commitments - commitments that extend from the privacy of our homes to the public squares of our influence. David understood the proper sequence for spiritual formation: relationship with God precedes righteous behavior. David acknowledges the tension many leaders face between mercy and accountability, between forgiveness and standards. Before David can lead others effectively, he must be in right relationship with the ultimate Leader. Allowing evil to flourish unchecked is not just socially harmful but spiritually offensive to God. Integrity isn't simply about avoiding scandal but about building something that endures. David approached integrity not as a passive state but as an active pursuit.  Quotable: The greatest threats to leadership don't come from external enemies but from internal compromise.  Application: People of integrity demonstrate it in their private lives, in their minds, in their relationships, and in their leadership. Daily Reflection Practice: Create a brief evening review asking: "Were my private choices aligned with my public values today?" Clear Communication: Articulate your boundaries to friends and colleagues before situations arise that test them. Heart Examination: Regularly check your motives to ensure you're acting from devotion to God rather than self-righteousness Kingdom Focus: Frame your opposition to evil in terms of God's purposes rather than personal preferences Our greatest contribution may not be what we build but who we become—and who we help others become in the process.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.

Ben Smith and Jack Peat discussed Taylor Herring's report, "News is Dead. Long Live the News," focusing on PR's adaptation to evolving newsroom structures and social media's transformative role in news generation and distribution. The report highlights the need for platform-specific content strategies, emphasizing authentic, visually engaging content tailored to algorithms and social newsroom preferences, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach. Next steps include further exploring the implications of these trends and developing tailored PR strategies for different social media platforms.DetailsTaylor Herring Report Overview: Ben Smith and Jack Peat discussed Taylor Herring's report, "News is Dead. Long Live the News," which examines how mainstream publishers' editorial teams are structured and whether PR teams are adapting. The central premise is that PR firms are slow to mirror changes in modern newsrooms. They also discussed upcoming PRmoment events, including the PR Masterclass on AI in PR.Social Media's Transformative Role in News: Jack Peat highlighted social media's shift from a news distribution platform to a source and generator of news. They emphasized how social media upends every stage of the news cycle, with user-generated content playing a significant role.Evolving Relationship Between Publishers and Social Media: Ben Smith and Jack Peat explored the change in how publishers view social media, from using it for traffic to their digital platforms, to becoming a central source of news and audience engagement. They cited examples of publishers prioritizing social media channels with growing teams and significant investments.Platform-Specific Content Strategies: The report revealed that different publishers excel on different platforms. This highlights the need for tailored content strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach to PR. The success of publications like Lad Bible and Joe on TikTok and the Economist on X exemplify this.The Algorithm's Influence on Content Creation: Jack Peat noted that algorithms, rather than editors, are increasingly important, requiring PR to tailor content to specific platform algorithms. Editors, however, remain crucial in understanding their publications' voice and how to optimize content for their target platforms.The Shift from One-Size-Fits-All PR: The discussion emphasized the end of the "one-size-fits-all" PR content era, as social news desks seek authentic content tailored to their specific platform and audience. Sending lengthy press releases without visual assets or opportunities for the social news teams to create their own content is no longer effective.Types of Video Content Sought by Social Newsrooms: The podcast explored the type of video content preferred by social newsrooms; it's authentic, live-in-the-moment content, often shot on camera phones. The idea of providing "B-roll" footage that social newsrooms can then tailor to their own platform's style was suggested.The Growing Importance of Creators in Newsrooms: The conversation highlighted the shift in newsroom staffing, with a growing emphasis on creators who possess deep platform-specific knowledge rather than traditional journalism training. This trend is driving a change in the relationship between PR and publishers.Publishers' Evolving Commercialization Models: The discussion included the evolution of publishers' commercialization models on social media, moving from legacy platforms that rely on ad revenue and referrals, towards platforms like TikTok and Snap that use a "walled-garden" approach, and finally to the trend of publishers owning their audiences through subscriptions rather than renting their audience through advertising.

Today, we will cover:- The causes of spiritual depression and feeling far from God.- How a godly person can win over depression.- The depth of our need for the Lord.Key takeaways:· The depth of my need brings me to my knees and to the one I need.· How a godly person can win over depression:o He takes himself in his hand.o He challenges himself of what should be done.o He reminds himself of a great certainty.Quotable:· “Identify the lie you are believing and replace it with the truth of God's word.”· “Therefore, instead of looking sadly at the past as something I have lost. I will look to it as a foretaste of the many things yet to come.”· “Is there a cure for Spiritual depression? Yes. But it is not in us. It is in God. The cure is to seek God's face, so ours will not be downcast, which is what the psalmist does.”Application:· Take yourself in your hand.o Take responsibility for your spiritual fuel gauge.· Challenge yourself to do what you know should be done.o Hope in God.

In this AI-generated episode of the Gospel Addict Podcast, hosts Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss the fifth "S" of the gospel: surrender. They explain that surrender, in the context of Christian faith, is an active transfer of trust from oneself to Jesus Christ. This concept addresses the criticism that grace-focused teaching might lead to passive behavior or license, clarifying that surrender involves continual and active reliance on Christ, not self-effort for salvation or sanctification. The hosts emphasize that this surrender is not about self-justification or earning God's favor, but a response to the completed work of Jesus, shifting the believer's motivation from "have to" to "get to" in their faith journey.

This is an AI-generated episode based on a Gospel Addict Podcast episode excerpt that focuses on the importance of sequence in understanding the gospel, contrasting it with a religious mindset. They illustrate this principle using biblical examples like Deuteronomy, Isaiah, and the story of Zacchaeus, highlighting that God's acceptance precedes and enables obedience, rather than the other way around. The hosts also reference the book of Galatians to underscore how believers can mistakenly revert to a works-based mentality, a deviation Paul strongly rebukes.

This an AI-generated podcast episode based on a Gospel Addict episode that explores the crucial Christian doctrine of standing, which refers to believers being declared righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ, not through their own efforts. The hosts, Greg Bryan and Jim Resky, emphasize that this positional righteousness is complete and unchangeable, contrasting it with the misconception that one's standing is conditional based on personal performance. They highlight biblical support for this doctrine, including Romans and 2 Corinthians, and discuss how understanding grace-driven sanctification fosters gratitude and transforms the motivation behind Christian disciplines from obligation to joyful response. The episode also addresses potential misunderstandings, such as the idea that secure standing gives license to sin, and concludes with a reflection on Ecclesiastes, suggesting that believers can live with purpose knowing their standing with God is already secured by grace.

Welcome to episode 198 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 73.  Today, we will explore the psalmist's struggle with envying wicked people, focusing on: The principle—The Just God Is Good to the Godly (v. 1) The perception—Injustice Makes Godliness Seem Futile (vv. 2–14) The perspective—The Just God Judges Wicked People (vv. 15–26) The practice—Faith in the Just God Gives Stability in the Face of Injustice (vv. 27–28)  Key takeaways: The traditional view that God's goodness is experienced in terms of prosperity, ease, and good health, and these belong truly to the “pure in heart” who maintain proper ritual observance and ethical behavior. The problem is that the psalmist has not experienced the expected fruit or consequences of maintaining purity of heart. Instead, the wicked seem to have it now and have it all. Those who reject God's ways appear to be rewarded rather than judged. The real heart of the matter—the righteous person feeling that it has been to no end to keep his heart pure. The truth is, both good and bad happen to everyone, but to the “pure heart” it seems that the wicked never experience the ailments the righteous suffer! Sometimes godliness appears futile when measured by worldly standards The ephemeral nature of the wicked's prosperity lacks permanence and substance when viewed from God's perspective. Even if the wicked possess everything earth offers, they have nothing compared to the treasure of knowing God. The goodness of God is not defined by the peace the wicked enjoy, nor is it denied by the affliction suffered by the pure in heart.  Quotable: Am I serving God for His benefits or for Himself?  Application: Identify your prosperity triggers.  What specific situations most challenge your faith when you observe apparent injustice? Examine Prosperity Gospel Influences: Asaph's crisis partly stemmed from an assumed connection between righteousness and reward. Examine where prosperity gospel thinking might infiltrate your theology—the belief that faithfulness should always lead to visible blessing. Our assessment of reality changes not when circumstances change but when we see them from God's viewpoint. Nearness to God itself is good —not what God gives, but relationship with God Himself.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider. 

An AI-generated discussion based on a Gospel Addict podcast episode featuring a discussion between Greg Bryan and Jim Reske on the crucial gospel doctrine of substitution. They assert that the core of the gospel lies in Jesus Christ's substitutionary atonement, where he took the punishment for humanity's sins. They critique the notion that believers are justified by grace but then sanctified by their own efforts, emphasizing that the gospel underpins the entire Christian life. Using biblical examples from Leviticus regarding animal sacrifices and the scapegoat, they illustrate how these Old Testament practices foreshadow Christ's ultimate substitution. The hosts underscore that understanding substitution reveals the serious consequences of sin and the profound grace of God in providing a substitute for humanity's spiritual debt. They highlight the transformative impact of grasping that Jesus, the perfect servant, fulfilled all righteousness on believers' behalf.

This is an AI-generated podcast based on the original audio from a previous "Gospel Addict" episode with hosts Greg Bryan and Jim Reske. In this episode, they begin a new series focused on the "five S's of the gospel," dedicating the initial discussion to the concept of scale. The hosts reflect on the recent passing of Jim's father-in-law, highlighting his humble yet significant spiritual impact. They then introduce "scale" as a crucial understanding of the vast difference between God's holiness and human sinfulness. Using biblical examples like the speck and the plank, the parable of the unmerciful servant, and Isaiah's vision, they illustrate how humanity often lacks a proper sense of this spiritual disparity. They emphasize that grasping this "scale" is fundamental to understanding the gospel and fostering gratitude for God's grace.

This episode introduces a simple yet highly effective communication habit that can be adopted by anyone to significantly reduce the risk of misunderstandings and enhance connection. It explores how this practice, which requires thoughtful communication but no special skills, can benefit individuals at all career levels.Discover why misunderstandings pose a significant risk to your career and how our natural inclination towards low-effort communication contributes to this risk.Learn the core of this high-leverage habit: restating what someone is telling you in your own words to ensure clarity and mutual understanding. This involves summarising or rephrasing the other person's message using your own terminology.Understand the multiple benefits of this technique, including demonstrating that you are actively listening, encoding the information more effectively for yourself, and most crucially, giving the other person the opportunity to correct your understanding.Explore how this habit provides a critical opportunity to refine your understanding and check it against the speaker's intended message, ultimately leading to better comprehension.Learn how receiving confirmation ("That's right") builds credibility and fosters a sense of being understood, creating a genuine connection with others.Grasp the idea that this "mirroring back" of meaning, rather than just the words, is a cheap, deep, and high-leverage behaviour that can significantly improve your communication effectiveness in professional settings.

Welcome to episode 196 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Psalms, covering chapter 49, a Psalm of Wisdom. Today, we will cover:- The wisdom shared in this psalm is universal, proverbial, and problematic.- The wisdom shared demonstrates that humanity has a problem, they have been ransomed by God for a price they can't pay.- The wisdom shared shows the negative, meaning it is folly to be confident in mans ability to save themselves.- True wisdom is faithful confidence in the Lord, who paid our ransom.Key takeaways:· The Main Point of this Psalm is to show “The Fatal Folly of Foolish Confidence.”· Christ followers can walk in the “Firm Foundation of Faithful Confidence.”Quotable:· “Why would the psalmist phrase it as ransom if no one can pay it?”· “The only one holding us ransom can also pay our ransom”· “The only one who can pay an eternal punishment is the one who is eternal.”· “The only one who can make us right is the one who is right.”Application:· You can only walk in Faithful confidence if you have faithful confidence.· Because of Christ:o We can now be confident in our righteousness.o We can now confidently enter Holy places.· Now we can walk in “Blessed Assurance.”Connect with us:Web site: https://springbaptist.orgFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)Need us to pray for you?

This episode introduces a valuable meta-tool for understanding the generic shapes of models, focusing specifically on the concept of logarithmic relationships and how they manifest as diminishing returns in various aspects of our lives and work. Understanding these patterns can help us make more informed decisions about where to invest our time and resources. Uncover a meta-tool for understanding generic model shapes, specifically focusing on the concept of logarithmic relationships, which operates at a layer above specific mental models. Learn about logarithmic complexity as a concept often encountered in algorithmic analysis and graphing math, characterised by a curve where the slope continuously decreases. Discover how diminishing returns serve as a colloquial way to understand logarithmic relationships, where each unit of input effort yields progressively smaller returns in value or output. Explore examples of where diminishing returns are evident, such as increasing the reliability of a system through quality improvements, estimation efforts, and the value gained from time spent in meetings. Understand how learning processes often follow a logarithmic curve, with rapid initial gains that gradually diminish with experience. Grasp the connection between logarithmic returns and the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), where a small percentage of effort often produces a large percentage of the value. Recognise the importance of identifying the threshold on a logarithmic curve where the returns on further investment become minimal, aiding in more effective resource allocation. Consider how our natural perception might not align with logarithmic realities, potentially leading us to overvalue continued effort beyond the point of significant return. Learn how understanding these fundamental input-output relationships can empower you to make better decisions about where to focus your time, effort, and resources.

Friends, we come to the Third Sunday of Lent, and we have the extraordinary privilege during Cycle C of reading this account, in the third chapter of the book of Exodus, of Moses's encounter with the burning bush. It's one of the pivotal texts in all of Scripture; so much of our great tradition refers to and flows from it, and it sheds light in every direction, telling us profound truths about God, about the spiritual life, and about our relationship to the Lord.
